Monday January 5, 2009 Part I

Today was a late start. I spent a good part of last night working on the catalog. A full product catalog is a lengthy process in construction. Because of this I spend many late nights working after everyone has gone to bed and the house chores are done. That led to me sleeping in a tad. Not by much and not past my open hours posted. It did prevent me from getting any house work done prior to the first day's work.

Today is inventory. I need to get this done so we can reopen tomorrow. I have the begining of a cold and finding energy is very much lacking. I keep a bottle of the 5 hour energy around that I find helpful on days I need a little more pep. Being so late in the afternoon I finally took half the bottle to see if I can find the little extra I need to go the counts. In the meantime I have resorted to changing my brochures and continuing the catalog.

In about 30 minutes I will be taking a break to spend time with my son after his first day back from winter break. As he settles down to begin homework I will go back to work. I break any time he has a question or needs help with homework. At 6 I will break for 2 hours so I can prepare dinner and spend time with my son and husband. I am usually back to work at 8 until approx midnight.

WAHM Tip of the Week

While free ads are great, they are not always effective. You may spend a lot of valuable time placing free ads, surfing traffic exchanges, or just searching these out. Most times you are just advertising to others who are advertising themselves and not actually going to buy anything. Instead find 5 free places to place an ad and 2 places for paid ad space. Find well placed ad spots where your target audience is actually going to. Leave these ads for 3 months. If they produce nothing, remove your ad and more on. If they are producing results, continue your campaign. In these ads always include some sort of code or promotion so you know what campaign is working and which is not.

Recipe of the week

A new favorite around my home is a Mango Tea Punch. I made it on a whim and it has stuck every since. Give it a try this summer!
